With regard to this matter, the Company submitted the report containing the background of such corrections and improvement measures on Dec. 29, 2011 (Thu.) and submitted the amended version of such report on May 25, 2012 (Fri.).
As six (6) months have passed since the submission of such report, the Company has submitted an Improvement Status Report containing the status of implementation and operation of such improvement measures described in such report.

3. Re-request for Improvement Status Report

(1) Deadline for Re-submission of Improvement Status Report

Jan. 28, 2013 (Mon.)

(2) Provision

Securities Listing Regulations, Rule 503, Paragraph 2
(TSE deems it necessary to request the Company to submit an Improvement Status Report with regard to the status of implementation and operation of the improvement
measures.)

(3) Reason for Submission

The Company disclosed the "Notice in relation to agreement on acquisition of shares of affiliated companies, etc. and changes in subsidiaries, major shareholders, and other related companies" on Jun. 26, 2012. As in the notice, a major change in the scope of consolidation of the Company is scheduled within a short period of time. Such change includes the Company acquiring stock of affiliated and other companies held by the founding family via a third party, which will result in such companies that became unconsolidated companies before the implementation and operation of the improvement measures becoming consolidated subsidiaries once again, as well as multiple companies joining the Company group.
In light of the above, TSE has requested the Company to explain the status after six months pass from today in order to confirm that the improvement measures of the Company group effectively function after such change. TSE deems it appropriate to request the Company to submit an Improvement Status Report by Jan. 28, 2013 (Mon.) pursuant to the provisions of Rule 503, Paragraph 2 of the Securities Listing Regulations.
